Nepal has commenced burying some of the 752 victims of recent devastating floods, a departure from traditional Hindu cremation practices. This unusual measure is being taken to preserve remains, as DNA samples are being collected for identification. The burials serve as temporary storage, allowing families to reclaim their loved ones when possible. Authorities are facing challenges in identifying the deceased due to the scale of the disaster. The floods, among the worst in recent years, have caused widespread destruction and displacement. The process prioritizes respectful handling of remains while addressing the logistical difficulties of mass fatalities. International aid efforts are underway to support Nepal's recovery.
